Press A to Pray

Preparations are done. Let's kill a universe devouring entity!


We warped back to Saturn Valley and spoke to Jeff's dad a few times. A part of that is my fault. We climb into the Saturn shaped machine and are warped far away. We're taken to the Cave to the Past. We could have visited this place before Fire Springs, but we'd have been stranded on an island across from where we are now. And since there's not much here anyway, why visit? Walk the path, and Poo's master will teleport in. He magically teaches Poo Starstrike Omega before leaving again. Further down the trail is the Mr. Saturn Porky kidnapped. Keep following the path to reach a dead end. Turn around, and a third Phase Distorter warps in. Out comes Dr. Andonuts, Apple Kid, and the genius Mr. Saturn. They have come with some bad news.

Giygas is attacking the universe from this location, but he's doing so from elsewhere in history. The third Phase Distorter can take us back in time, but our physical bodies can't go. Something, something, "science," something, something. However, the doctor can place our spirits into a robot that can! We can turn down this turn of events, but I don't know what would've happened. So agree, and a scene plays out where our bodies die. We awaken in identical robot bodies. Ness has his cap on. We enter the Phase Distorter and travel to when this area was connected and grey.

There are a few mobs on the way. Two types of starmen and a robot that explodes on death. By now, though, the exp is pretty terrible. Somewhere down here are bionic krakens who can drop Ness' best bat. I didn't even see them, not that I was going to grind anyway. The team will reach a cave, and it takes us to a strange sight.

Giygas' body is a bunch of tubes or vessels. It's disturbing. As we reach the top, the eye opens up, and we see an image of Ness. Porky, located in a mechanical spider suit, appears. He disregards the prophecy of the Apple of Enlightenment, an item I completely skimmed, and talks up Giygas, the new embodiment of evil! And with that...

The final battle (pt 1) begins! Don't use magic on Giygas, or his shield will reflect 100% of the damage back at the caster. Focus on Porky, who lacks any such defenses. Porky lasted three turns and didn't do anything. Once he's down, he'll stop the Devil Machine. Apparently, this part kept Giygas "human." Porky starts to insult his boss now, which is interesting. But with Devil Machine gone, he's now a mindless entity.

Porky is gone, as is Giggy's shield. Go all out now! I'd describe our opponents' attack, but it's something "we can't comprehend." It can do negligible damage to everyone, heavy damage to everyone, thunder, or make us cry. Occasionally, it can be an insta kill. After a few rounds, the red waves of Goygas turn into a deeper red, and we enter the final phase.

Keep Paula alive. I don't know if damaging Giygas means anything, but Paula is the only one who can truly harm him. Have her Pray every round. Her prays call out to our friends. The power of friendship is what will kill the beast! But between these, Giygas speaks to us. He calls out to Ness and says that he's in pain and is sad. But sometimes he's happy? Occasionally, he'll demand we go back. I wonder what I would have thought about it when I was six. After Paula calls out to Saturn Valley, the Runaway Five, Jeff's classmates, Franky, and Ness' family, her pray will "be absorbed by the darkness." Don't be discouraged, and do it once more. This time the player will pray. And it is we who have the biggest effect. Our prayers attack him three times, and the final one does 30000 damage. Giygas will slowly disappear, and we will have won.

Our robot bodies are dead before Giugias' tube cave. Lights come out of them and travel to Saturn Valley to return to our human bodies. The doctor congratulates us, and our team goes their separate ways. Poo shows off a new psi spell, PSI Farewell. He turns into smoke, returns to Dalaam, and three presents fall from the sky.
Jeff accepts his dad and plans to hang out here.
Paula asks us to escort her home. Pick up the presents; they're letters from friends and family (Tony, mom, and the kindergartners). From here, we can teleport around the world to get a finality to some of our escapades. But I'll save that for you (and because I didn't do many).
Take Paula home, and let her dad think you two are dating. How cute.
Return home and talk to mom. Call dad while you're there. And then the rest of your family. Mom asks if you're ready to relax, and she'll whip out the picture book that you've slowly been adding to this whole time.

We're reminded of all the people we've met and even the random NPCs. There are definitely a lot of them! The credits will roll, but there's an epilogue.

In the middle of the night, a loud and annoying knocking is heard at the door. We have to answer it, but someone busts in before we can. It's Picky! He has a letter from Porky. The Porkster is calling us out for a later date...

"The End...?"
